TypeProbate and AdministrationPosturePetitioner seeks to maintain grant of letters of administration; Objector seeks revocation and restraining orderCoramGEORGE KANYI KIMONDO
Holding

The objector's claim is dismissed as it is not established that he is a creditor of the estate. The objector's claim for revocation of the grant is denied.

Facts

Objector claims to be a creditor of the estate and that the petitioner has omitted his name from the list of creditors. Objector also claims to have bought two acres of land from the deceased's estate in 1995.

Issues

  1. Whether the objector is a creditor of the estate
  2. Whether the objector should have been notified of the filing of the cause
  3. Whether the objector's claim is a plausible ground to revoke the grant issued to the petitioner

Reasoning

The objector has not established that he is a creditor of the estate. The objector's interest cannot be considered in this matter, and his claim for revocation of the grant is not a plausible ground.

Outcome

The objector's application is dismissed.

Orders

  • The objector's application for revocation of the grant is dismissed.
  • Each party shall bear its own costs.

Remedies

  • The objector may file suit against either the estate of Alesus Kipkogei or against the administrators in this cause for a declaration that he is entitled to the portion of land.
